If there was ever a foolproof #ootd combo, this is it. Floral dress + denim jacket + booties = winning at life. (Okay fine. Maybe not LIFE, but definitely winning at fashion.) And if you’re interested in things like THE perfect denim jacket (duh), and my most worn boots, I present to you my @livefashionable jacket and @marc.fisher booties. Go ahead and say to yourself, “Self. These pieces are staples. YEAR ROUND, all-season staples. Therefore, they are fashion unicorns 🦄 and as everyone knows, unicorns are free.” *rationalizes your purchases using nonsense and #sherrimath.

As someone rapidly approaching the age of RHYMES WITH SCHMORTY, fine lines, dark spots, and wrinkles may or may not strike a little fear into my heart. (Okay, fine. A LOT of fear, let’s be honest.) BUT, guys, I’ve been using Silk Therapeutics C Advance and Eye Revive for the past couple of months, and my face has been all BYE FELICIA to those pesky signs of aging. @skincarebysilk uses a powerful activated silk technology in their products, which not only has a really cool texture, but is also truly brightening. (Plus, there’s a chance it contains ACTUAL MAGIC, because my skin has never looked better. #realtalk) The patented liquified silk technology allows Silk Therapeutics to use minimal ingredients, that are both clean and cruelty-free. In other words, everyone wins, so I knew I had to share. Because if you’re on the schmorty train with me (anyone?), then your skin will thank you so hard. And if you’re years away from that particular train, then A) how dare you? And B) your skin will love @skincarebysilk too. | 📸: @jnellyphotography | #silktherapeutics #skincareroutine #crueltyfree #beautyroutine #cleanskincare #sensitiveskincare

Another day, another pair of enormous #flares. My love of the super extra flare has gone from normal and (sort of) healthy to dangerously #obsessed. I dare you to find a more universally flattering pair of pants. (Spoiler alert: you can’t because they don’t exist.) These look phenomenal on everyone. EV-ER-Y-ONE. And you know what they say: if it makes your legs look long and your butt look perky, then it becomes FREE. #sherrimath | My flares are from @fabrikbuckhead, so local girls, get yo’self over there and snag some ASAP. Unfortunately, you will have to use REAL MATH and actual money, because the world is very rude and refuses to accept Sherri Math as a valid concept. #legalizesherrimath P.S. my sleeveless tunic sweater is pretty rad also, and just so happens to be from fab’rik as well. In other words, I just saved you time AND made your hiney look amazing. Not all heroes wear capes, y’all. But they do wear flares. | Linking to some super similar options over on my liketoknow.it page, for all you non-local ladies.

Allll the “I Survived Spring Break” feels, y’all. All of them. Like the feels I felt when nobody would stop whining, or the feels Bo had about wearing anything besides pajama pants. Or how about the feels I experienced when one (or usually both) of my children asked “how much longer,” for the 137th time. BUT. THEN there were the epic feels I got when AG and Bo showed me their new “brother-sister” handshake. 😍 (Which absolutely WILL be making an appearance in stories.) Or the feels AG had when we went down the water slide together; a mixture of horror and embarrassment as I didn’t NOT scream like a teenage girl at a Bieber concert. Or the feels we all had every time Bo saw a “snurfboard” or yelled HI ORCAS! at each body of water he came across. It was a #springbreak full of feels, and y’all? I loved every. Single. Minute. ❤️ (except the whiny feels, those I could do without.) | P.S. shop my new favorite shirt and the shorts I will never again live without, by following me in the LIKEtoKNOW.it app (@sherridickens) OR click the link in my bio to “shop my insta.” 👊🏻 Then you can have all the feels too. | http://liketk.it/2Aoln #liketkit @liketoknow.it | 📸 : @jnellyphotpgraphy

Me: January was the worst month in the history of ever. February: hold my beer. 😂 seriously y’all, it was one for the books: 2 stomach bugs, 2 cases of strep, and 2 bouts of the flu. And a Sherri in the anxiety tree. 🎶 What? Is it not #christmas anymore? I really wouldn’t know because I haven’t been out of my house in 2 months. BUT. It’s #girlsweekend in #nashville, and I’m kicking off March right with the comfiest #travelstyle #ootd in alllll the land. And you should too.

I mean, I’m not saying Last Year Sherri completely called this whole “sheer dress over shorts” thing. Except that I totally did. 😂 Can’t lie, this sheer midi dress is one of my most favorite pieces in the ol’ closet. Here’s why: 1. it helps a girl out when shorts aren’t her favorite. 2. It can be worn over nearly anything. Pencil skirt? Yep! Another dress? Why the heck not? My sweatpants? OKAY FINE. (Don’t even think I won’t try it.) 3. You’ll throw off major “I’m not a regular mom, I’m a cool mom” vibes. AG says that’s fake news, because she’s HILARIOUS THAT WAY. 🙄😂 *instantly makes plans to volunteer in her class next week. Wearing this outfit.

If you’re a mom like me, we probably have certain things in common: we live on the go, we’re always trying to set a good example for our children, and sometimes we even finish our beauty routine in the carpool line. SOME of us might even use that time to apply our deodorant, mainly because SOME of us don’t always remember putting it on in the first place. #nevernotawkward At any rate, @Dove 0% Aluminum deodorant is a new staple in my routine, and I’m pretty much never leaving home without it. The scents are amazing (Coconut & Pink Jasmine is my favorite!) and provide 24 hours of odor protection. Plus it’s moisturizing, and most importantly, it’s a choice I can feel good about sharing with my daughter. And possibly her entire carpool line. #DovePartner #GoDoveZero

#thatawkwardmoment when you realize you’ve been wearing some version of the same outfit for, oh I don’t know, THE ENTIRE LAST MONTH. #itsfine #sorrynotsorry | if you’re local, you can (and should) shop this look IRL @fabrikbuckhead.

Dear #Atlanta, I love you for so many reasons. But your Friday traffic situation is NOT one of them. Your shopping situation, however, IS pretty epic. As are your “snow days.” 😉 Either way, I think I’ll keep ya. ❤️😘 Btw, also EPIC? This sweater and these jeans. I’ve never in my life gotten more random compliments on a sweater, so you can safely assume, I wear it every other day. I’m not able to link it here, but it’s an @amazonfashion brand, and you can visit my Amazon storefront for a direct link. Just go to amazon.com/shop/sherridickens (remember to bookmark that ish if you haven’t already) and then click on Sherri’s faves. It is UNDER $60 people. And next week #ontheblog, I’ll make it free for you by styling it two ways. 😂 These @topshop jeans are so super comfy, and a great price point too. Clear eyes, full hearts, great jeans. Or something like that. | shop all my looks by following me in the FREE LIKEtoKNOW.it app (@sherridickens) or just visit RATMJ.com/liketoknowit.

Y’all didn’t think I’d let this day go by without a #creepyboymom post, did you? You’re welcome. Because y’all, BO IS FIVE. *drowns sorrows in an entire cookie cake, stabs John with a fork over the last piece. Guys, this picture is how Bo lives life. With lots of jumping. And running. And smashing. There’s a lot of falling. (A lot.) But there is an equal amount of getting up and doing it all over again. I want to be just like him when I grow up, because I’m not even sure the word fear exists in his vocabulary. (Unless it involves that scary looking mascot thing at Stars and Strikes. In that case, he’s out.) Recently, he told me I am to call him my “Duckie Baby” for the rest of his life. And he will call me “Mommy Duckie” And then I will tell the whole internet, because y’all are gonna back me up in 10 years when he’s taller than me, and pretends it never happened. He’s five. FIVE. And I’m pretty sure shopping dollars don’t count when your baby turns 5. #sherrimath #bobodickens

For at least 5 minutes every January, I resolve to keep my house clean and organized. Then I remember my actual personality, and that flies out the window. Usually around January 17th.

Until then, I’m going to pretend that I am a neat and tidy person. And for me, the one thing that always makes me feel organized in the midst of chaos, is making my bed. I’ve been trying to instill this ONE good habit of mine in AG and Bo, as opposed to the other habits that generally involve too much tv, too much sugar, and too much time spent at Nordstrom.

Anyway, this bed-making thing has NOT been going well. Mainly because I made the rookie mom mistake of giving them beds that are absolutely adorable and absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to make. (For children and maybe also for their 38 year old mothers. Ahem.)

Sometimes you wanna Pinterest up an amazing, creative Halloween costume that impresses all of Instagram, I mean, YOUR SWEET CHILDREN, who, have apparently "always wanted a fun mom that dresses up for Halloween."

Good to know.

But then, other times you just wanna justify those new moto boots you bought. Or that camo jacket you’ve been eyeing. Or the red ringmaster coat that a certain someone said was too “extra,” but you just KNEW that one day there would be a highly popular movie about a musically gifted dreamer who opens his own circus. Or ya know. Something like that.

Today our marriage is a fourteen year old. So we’re gonna talk about John y’all. And not ONLY to say something outlandish to see if actually reads the blog. Although that will be an added bonus. Muahahaha.

See, today, we’ve been married for FOURTEEN years. I know what you’re thinking, and the answer is YES. Yes, I WAS a child bride. I met John the very day I moved to Atlanta for my first job out of college. What followed was a quick breakup with my current boyfriend, because I knew SOMETHING about John was different. And even though I couldn’t remember his first name after our last meeting (I just referred to him as “the hot guy from that thing”), I knew I’d see him again, and I KNEW he was special.

Just kidding. Mostly. But I'll bet some of you #girlmoms will relate so hard to this post. When our daughters were babies and toddlers, it was REALLY FUN to dress them, right? Whether you were into smocking or skinny jeans, cold shoulder shirts or big bows, it's like playing dress up with a cute doll. One who cries, poops, and throws tantrums. yes. But a doll who will at least wear what the heck you spend your cash money on, because DOESN'T SHE KNOW PEOPLE PAY YOU TO DO THIS??. A-HEM.

Lean in close and get ready to be shocked y’all. I get botox. I know, I know. You HAD NO IDEA. I basically showed up at my doctor's office THE VERY DAY I stopped nursing Bo, and was all MAMA NEEDS SOME BOTOX STAT! (Doctors love it when you use medical jargon like stat. About as much as when you tell them you WebMD-ed your symptoms and diagnosed yourself.)

Anyway, way back when I was significantly younger (and more annoying), I was all

The other day, while visiting my mom and dad, and my mom whips out a cake and says, HAPPY ADOPTION BIRTHDAY! Which I had completely forgotten, because children have sucked all of my brains out like little zombie people. But you'd better believe I"ll take any excuse I can find to celebrate a birthday. I also had a couple of epiphanies (because I'm fancy and say words like EPIPHANY):

I have to start this post with a disclaimer. I know Mother's Day is hard for some of y'all. And for you, I wish I could reach through this computer and give you your OWN DANG mother's day gift. You deserve it. Because you've had to do the hardest work of all. You've had to deal with grief. Or loss. Or maybe you've had to learn to be a mother, when you never had a great example from which to learn. And you are badasses. All of you.
